Who We Are

The 100% Campaign is a collaborative effort of The Children's Partnership, Children Now, and Children's Defense Fund-California. Since 1998, these three leading children's advocacy organizations have worked together to ensure that all of California's children gain access to affordable, comprehensive health coverage. Not only does health coverage improve children's well-being and help them reach their potential in school, investment in comprehensive health coverage for children is cost-effective because it promote access to less expensive preventative care and treatment.

The 100% Campaign uses every viable strategy - including key partnerships with the broadest possible range of community and statewide leaders and policy makers; research and analysis; and public education and outreach - to ensure that all of California's children receive the health insurance they need to grow up healthy and strong.

The Children's Partnership (TCP) is a national, nonprofit child advocacy organization working to ensure that all children - especially those at risk of being left behind - have the resources and the opportunities they need to grow up healthy and to lead productive lives. TCP focuses particular attention on securing health coverage for uninsured children and ensuring that the opportunities of digital technology benefit all children and families. TCP combines national research with community-based activities, and then develops policy and advocacy agendas to expand these demonstrated solutions to underserved communities around the country.

Children Now is a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization working to raise children's well-being to the top of the national policy agenda. The organization focuses on ensuring quality health care, a solid education and a positive media environment for all children. Children Now's strategic approach creates awareness of children's needs, develops effective policy solutions and engages those who can make change happen.

The Children's Defense Fund-California (CDF-CA) is the California office of the Children's Defense Fund, a non-profit child advocacy organization that has worked relentlessly for nearly 40 years to ensure a level playing field for all children. CDF-CA champions policies and programs that lift children out of poverty; protect them from abuse and neglect; and ensure their access to health care and quality education.
